PRACTICAL HINTS
Load tips
When sorting laundry, make sure:
– have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from
laundry;
– to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;
– to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
– to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
– to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
- When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
- To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
- Leave the appliance’s door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad smells developing inside the machine.
Useful advice for saving
Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your
appliance.
- Load the machine to the highest capacity shown in the programme table for each programme – this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
- Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
- The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.
Maximise the load size
-
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash? -
For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required? -
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a low temperature wash programme.
Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS) -
SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.
Dosing the detergent
Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.
- Only use detergents suitable for machine washing.
- Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the type and level of soiling and the programmed washing temperature.
- To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allows you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C
or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching
agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are
suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid
detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics
with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.
- Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.
The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following
effects:
– cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites
which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
– white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal,
the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.
To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using
slightly less detergent.
– foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor
rinsing.
Consider using less detergent in future washes.
– abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the
detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.
In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at
all.
We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.
If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact
an Authorised Customer Service Centre.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.
Cleaning the appliance’s exterior
- Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
- Clean the appliance’s external cabinet, using a damp cloth and AVOIDING ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR DILUENTS.

– By drying care symbols, which are displayed on the clothing labels
| Suitable for tumble drying.
---|---
| Tumble dry at high temperature.
| Tumble dry at low temperature only.
| DO NOT tumble dry.
If the fabric does not have a care label, you should assume that it is not
suitable for drying.

Whenever the wash load is bigger than the drying capacity, separate the
clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
– By fabric type
Cottons/linen: towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.
Synthetics: blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamide, as
well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
- Only dry pre-spun laundry.
The correct way to dry
- Open the door.
